This market resolves based on the maximum intensity that Tropical Storm Saudel (JMA designation T2618) reaches at any point on or before 11:59 PM ET on August 31, 2026, using the Japan Meteorological Agency's (JMA) advisories (https://www.jma.go.jp/bosai/map.html#contents=typhoon&lang=en). Resolution is by wind speed: take the highest 10-minute maximum sustained wind speed JMA reports for Saudel in any single advisory during its lifetime, and the market for the one category whose range contains that value resolves "Yes." The categories are defined solely by these inclusive knot ranges: Tropical Storm (34-47 kt), Severe Tropical Storm (48-63 kt), Typhoon (64-84 kt), Very Strong Typhoon (85-104 kt), and Violent Typhoon (105 kt or higher). These names label the wind-speed ranges; JMA's own strength wording need not appear in an advisory for a category to resolve. The peak must occur on or before the deadline, though the confirming JMA data may be published later. Saudel is already a tropical storm, so its peak is at least "Tropical Storm". The wind speed in JMA's issued advisories is final and is not changed by any later reclassification or post-season best-track reanalysis. Where JMA advisory data is disputed, the values recorded by the Digital Typhoon database (National Institute of Informatics, Japan) for Typhoon 202618 (SAUDEL) are treated as conclusive evidence of what JMA reported. JMA is the primary and default resolution source.**Trader consensus on Very Strong Typhoon (97.3%) reflects Saudel’s confirmed peak intensity of approximately 110 knots (category 4 equivalent) reached earlier this week, as verified by Joint Typhoon Warning Center and Japan Meteorological Agency analyses.** The system has since weakened steadily to 75–80 knots amid persistent easterly shear, dry-air entrainment, and cooling sea-surface temperatures while tracking toward landfall in southern Zhejiang Province within 24–36 hours. All major intensity guidance shows continued rapid decay over land, with dissipation expected inside 60 hours. Realistic challenges to this positioning remain limited to an improbable late-stage reintensification before landfall or significant revisions in post-storm best-track data, both of which forecasters currently assign low probability given model consensus and unfavorable environmental conditions.
